Polymer Clay Scrap Technique: Starry Night Tutorial

In this tutorial I’ll show you one of my favourite leftover techniques. I like to call it the Starry Night Polymer Clay Technique, as it was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night Painting. You can use it to make many different shapes and patterns depending on how you manipulate the clay. It’s fun to make and can turn your leftovers into something really beautiful.
(Please note that this technique is completely different to, and is in no way related to the Starry Night Cane that Donna Kato teaches. )

So cool, maybe a combo of all styles!

[@lynnesheehan3881]

I just LOVE watching your tutorials! You break these processes down to be very easy to follow. I'm so excited to get started!

[@cheryltarkington7839]

Thanks for this tutorial. It looks simple enough once I learn to take thin slices and turns out so nice. Cheryl

[@SarahMBruce]

Love this technique. I fully support you vs. internet bullies. Be aware that Donna Kato calls “Starry Night” a somewhat different leftover technique in her book The Art of Polymer Clay Millifiori Techniques. Very easy to independently come up with the name from the appearance; no criticism intended; just want to make sure you know. LOVE your clear and complete tutorials.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

i am with you on this one, Sarah M Bruce.......as a matter of fact i never liked any one being bullied........and i think that it was a good technique no matter what the project's name was......

[@MHarenArt]

This is absolutely genius! Gorgeous! I've made this using a combination of magenta, gold and purple metallic clay. It was beautiful. And I've used a combination of bright green, peacock and gold. Another beautiful one!!! Then I did it with only pearl on the wrapped in black. It has become one of my favorite looks!!! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge!!!

[@JessamaTutorials]

Cool.

[@grittykitty50]

Right now, I am obsessing over the "starry brain" variation. I sometimes like to use a Skinner bull's eye cane instead of leftovers. By varying the thickness and color of the wrapping and the pattern of the pieces, you can create endless designs. Love this!

[@jenniferwong4530]

Fabulous!! I'm definitely going to try this technique with my scraps! Your videos are excellent! I've learned so much from you! Your jewelry is beautiful!!

[@grittykitty50]

Love the variations on this technique. The one with the dots is my favorite.

[@ABergieCreation]

Hi Samantha! I like the wonky basket one. It has a neat abstracty look!

[@IamCarpeDiem]

Beautiful.. have to say they look brain like.

[@emmawashington]

your starry night technique is one of my favorite things to do with leftovers! Van Gogh's Starry Night is my all time favourite painting. i love the new styles youve done here. the squiggly one reminds me of a big brain cane! im definitly going to use the cobble stone style one and the basket weave one. thanks for everything you post!

[@BelindaPort]

Fantastic!

[@kimberlyleon2147]

😍❤️Love you. I love your videos.

[@isabelleinthewoods]

I know I’m late to the party but I just found you on YT and I absolutely love your tutorials. Very helpful and you’re ever so lovely. Quick question: you flatten your pieces once they’re done , yet your jewellery looks quite thick. Can you tell me what you do to them please? Do you add another back or slab or do you stick them onto something else?? Thank you so much

[@JessamaTutorials]

I tend to take a veneer such as this starry night sheet and will place it onto another sheet of clay as a backing before cutting out my pieces.

[@isabelleinthewoods]

@@JessamaTutorials Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it. Have a lovely day

[@marinabrantner753]

I love your tutorials. I've always loved the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh. Can I ask how you bake your curved pieces to maintain their shape during baking.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I cut a loo roll in half and placed the pieces over the roll while baking.

[@ЮлияШанина-б2э]

Великолепно!

[@floodkevin4716]

Don't have that much scrap, can I do it just by selecting my colors

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. You can.

[@rosajensen215]

Oh I love this one too! What resin do you use to seal. I have not had very good results with most resins. I have been using Varathane glossy. But I love the look of the resin you used.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I like to use Ice Resin. Other resin choices are Magic Gloss or Ultra Dome. Hope this helps.

[@Lyn4817]

What resin do you use or have you used here, if you can remember. Great tutorial as usual, thanks.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I use Ice Resin. :D

[@alk230886]

What do you use to make such a high gloss finish please.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I use resin.

[@marielili9625]

😍😍

[@dianebowman3672]

Did you back these at all?

[@JessamaTutorials]

It depends on the project. Please check out this project tutorials. kzbin.info/aero/PLikI1JwM7OkoFTMCmFCnBmLJnfbK1v9VU

[@patriciacostaceramicaplastica]

Hi, Jessana! Your tutorials are amazing! I'm your fan! I am from Brazil and I would like to know how you achieve this beautiful shine in these blue navette pieces that you showed. Thank you very much for your attention! Brazilian kisses!

[@JessamaTutorials]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it.
